Abstract: HSV-1 infection related repress protein (HIRRP) is a new protein with unknown structure and function. In our previous work, we found that HIRRP can obtain highly expression in Vero cells infected by HSV-1 and we speculated that HIRRP may take part in the event of anti-infection. However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be fully understood. Vitronectin (VTN) is a candidate molecule hold a relationship with HIRRP by yeast trap. We further demonstrated that VTN can react with HIRRP by Co-IP, fluorescence co-localization, cell proliferation and anti-virus analysis, and this reaction can gain a collaborative effect in anti-infection. Taken together, our data suggest that VTN can make relationships with HIRRP, and this relationship may act a function of anti-infection.
